Mike G Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Got the base finished for my pixel tree. Got the base for my led mega tree painted, wife even helped. Double checked all my network items to make sure data is going where it's supposed to. I'm sure I'll have to go thru that again. Helped wife putting away all of the Halloween decorations and storing the boxes back in the garage. I hate daylight savings time! I'd much rather have the clocks stay put. ANyway, still on the fence about my center pole for my pixel tree, but tomorrow is another day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasmadrive Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Put together a cool little backpan for my house window controls. Last year they sat on the ground. I finally tried both my LOR network and my E1.31 networks together for the first time. Worked great. Very happy about that. Found a problem with my new LEDs in my big redwood trees.. they would not dim. Not even a little bit. So I swapped out the Gen 2 controller with a Gen 3 and they work now.. all except on tree... working on that problem now. Seems after so many LEDs even the Gen 3 PC controller won't dim....

rchatfield Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I'm so far behind the curve, it's not funny. I bought my first controller Dec 26th 2012 and I was all gung ho on getting one song programmed a month in preparation for 2013. Sad to say, I hit a brick wall and found the sequencing to be a little more daunting than I had anticipated. Time just seems to fly by and I kept telling myself, oh....you have plenty of time! Here I am with not even a full song completed and I broke down and acquired a few sequences to modify. 3 songs down, would like to add another 6 if I have the time. We've been working on stringing up all the lights since Mid October. Projects left to do, 16 mini trees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
